"the fox report's" correspondent jonathan hunt live at the united nations.

jonathan, what do we know about these missile movements? >> well, john, south korean officials say and many experts agree with their assessment that the missile most likely being moved is called a mosadan. it's ballistic missile maximum range carrying a war head about 2.5000 miles that would put guam into reach. that is one of the reasons why that missile defense system is being moved there by the pentagon the pentagon has musadun missiles. one of the concerns about the musudan is that it can be launched from a mobile truck. that would give the u.s. and others much less time to react than if they had to mount it on a launch tower. that is one of the major concerns tonight, jon. >> jon: and there is a date coming up that could be significant in all of this?

>> very significant date. april 15th. a week monday that will be the 101st anniversary of the birth of the founder of north korea, kim ilsun. kim jong un might decide that is a good date to translate his bellicose words into some sort of offensive action. here is the former defense secretary william cohen, listen. >> this is a young leader. we don't know whether he is in charge of the military or the military is in charge of him. and so we have to be be concerned on what our actions signal not only to the north but to our allies the south koreans, the japanese and also the chinese. everyone in the region has to be concerned about what this young leader untested, certainly unworldly might do. >> and as the world wonders exactly what kim jong un might do next. secretary of state john kerry is due to travel to the region next week to reinforce the message

personally to the neighbors of kim jong un that the united states has their back. jon? >> jon: on this than hunt at the u.n. thanks. law enforcement now hunting two members be on the look out for two men considered armed and dangerous. killing of tom clements. someone shot clements when he opened the front door of his house last month. blamed it on a former white supremacist on a guy who died shootout. that guy evan ebil had ties to the two white supremacist police now are trying to track down. alicia acuna with the news live in denver. what more do we know about these two guys. >> one may have been ready to turn himself in. something changed. thomas goalie's mother

hamburger hamlet near rush street. he told that young television host she should syndicate her show. enfrom a winfrey took his ad vice. he used to drink with studs turkel at the billy goat tavern under michigan avenue. that's back when he used to drink. he was very tech savvy and aggressive with the internet. because of that he was an early investor in google. he made millions. >> a lot of people are going to remember him for thumbs up or thumbs down. that's really reduckive considering what he brought to the industry. evidence gave a vice to people who loved movies. i remember an interview where he did where someone asked how do you become a film critic he said you call yourself up you stand up and call yourself a film critic and make yourself one. isn't that a model of any business in life we would like to follow. >> remarkable upon his passing he received public condolences from the mayor of chicago and the president. the white house releasing a statement that read in part even amidst his own battles with cancer he was

productive as resilient. continuing to share his passion and progressive with the world. the movies won't be the same without roger. he was asked one time what film was shown in heaven and what snack could you get for free? and he responded citizen cane and hag hagendaze. >> death caught everyone by surprise. >> everyone knew he was sick. he posted on his own blog he was taking an leave of presence because his cancer had returned. people had gotten used to his resilience. despite cancer surgery rendering him unable to speak. he reinvented himself largely on social media he continued to write books. he wrote a book about cooking despite the fact that he could no longer eat. and look at neil steinberg's column in today's sun times. a paraphrase of his final blog, roger ebert is not going away. that rab this -- ran this

covered. snow white and the seven dwarfs on trial. a juror dismissed back in there the courtroom laughing and everyone kind of forgetting that the victim in this trial was stabbed 27 times, shot in the head and solicit his throat from ear to ear. jon? >> jon: what aster. adam housley, thank you. a judge in ohio sentencing the craig's list kill tore death. in 2011 a jury convicted this man, a a 3-year-old self-styled street preacher named richard beazley. he teamed one a teenager to post bogus job offers on the popular craigslist. shot to death three men who showed up. fourth man survived ran for his life and called police. beazley's co-defendant, a minor at the time, still too young for the death penalty. the judge gave him life without parole stocks getting another four month high. is our economy recovering

or not? usually cold temperatugripping. rick reichmuth live in the fox weather center. rick? >> have been saying that for weeks now. severe weather season, a little bit today but it's all done really. this is where the threat for severe weather was today. you see the last of the storms exiting off of just to the north of miami. so i think the severe weather is done in florida. and that's good news. this same storm though bringing snow. so we're still talking about cold enough air that we're talking about snow across central appalachians. we might see a few inches there and rain, also, this will exit the seaboard and not effect areas of the northeast. i will tell you what, you talk about these temperatures. cold in the west, in the east. warm out west. and take a look at this. 41 degrees. we're well into april here. and we're at 41 degrees right now in atlanta. that is very, very cold. these temps are around 15 degrees below where you should be. all the warm air has been out across the west. the good news is we are going to see a flip flop in this pattern over the next few days.

so where you see all of this warm air out across the west we l. start to cool things down and these temps out here across much of the east by the time we get to sunday and monday will be warming by 10 to 15 degrees. finally start to see some spring by the early time we get to the early part of this next week. that's the latest from the fox weather center. fox report will be right back. it's not what you think. it's a phoenix with 4 wheels. it's a hawk with night vision goggles. it's marching to the beat of a different drum.

and soil samples from their there could already be hopelessly contaminated. unclear whether the team's access to witnesses, pigs, autopsy and toxicology reports will be hampered by the syrian government, rebels or both. best hope from smoking gun remnants from the missile that some witnesses reported having seen just before 26 people were reported killed, another 86 injured. >> if there is a delivery system, and there are markings on the delivery system. is it something that has been characteristically used by one side or othe other in this conflict, then it may be easier to describe evidence that is consistent with one party's use as opposed to the other. these teams don't usually come out with a report that says hey, country x did it. >> leading the inspection team are swedish scientist and professor and gabriel watson a german microbiologist and army veteran. both are veterans of the u.n.'s iraq inspections of

jon. economists are first alert forecasting that the economy created about 200,000 new jobs in march but that is still not enough to push the unemployment rate down quickly. so, as a result, they see the unemployment rate unchanged at 7.7% from february. now, this is in line with a moderate economic recovery there are still 3 million fewer people employed now than before the start of the recession. a lot of people have dropped out of the job market as you know. and a lot are still working part time when they want full-time work 8 million people, jon. >> jon: but it's not just jobs. >> yeah. that's right. now, we are making progress on the economy. but we are not all the way back yet. now, the stock market has been strong. more than doubling since stocks hit bottom in 2009. that's likely helped retail sales which hit about 420 billion in february. adjusted for inflation. that's about 18% off the bottom. housing is recovering but
